it's actually really nice

Wrapped a couple things today:




Plenty of applications for this, inside and out. Looks pretty convincing as a satin finish carbon, for a fraction of the price and easy to use


Lets see what you can do with it

I have thought of car wraps before. average life expectancy is 5+ years and costs about 2000 usd.

There are some fully wrapped cars out there and they look very very good.



Challenge is not so much with how much it costs but how much of the car should you wrap. There are replacements for the hood/trunk from companies like VIS Racing that weigh just a couple of pounds each but they also cost a hefty sum. Wrapping the car in full will cost twice what hood/trunk costs but it would also wrap entire car.

From my previous research you can buy steel looking CF wrap, blue looking CF wrap, Red, Yellow and pretty much any other color for that matter. Its just that some of them look rather crappy and some look awesometastic.

Considering that it usually takes a few hours to put this thing on.. car can be dropped off and picked up in same or next day. They usually shrink wrap those suckers. If you pick the right wrap... some are very durable.

Many fleet vehicles and buses have full wraps on them.

In some ways this costs cheaper then re-painting but it all boils down to what other members will think about it when you present it here on forums. Some may hate it, some may love it. I am right on the border because it is cheap and I do have a shop here that can do it but I am also with evo/gt4/celica debate so im just postponing it for time being.
